Preview weirdness on dual monitor
Hey guys,
I've got something really weird and quite annoying. But first some details:
i7-2600k
8GB corsair
Asus 580GTX DC-II
Dell Ultrasharp 2407
Samsung SyncMaster 2343
The problem I have is that Windows Preview shows a yellow picture on the Samsung. on the Dell it shows correct with a white background.
The 2 monitors are nearly identical in color display. The Dell is a little brighter with better contrast.
So to explain, when I drag the preview window over to the other monitor, its colored yellow. Just the contents, not the title bar or other dialog features.
When I make a screenshot, the part on the 2nd monitor is yellow when the screenshot is displayed on the Dell monitor so its definitely not my monitor displaying it yellow. The preview window simply renders its contents yellow on the second monitor and I can't figure out why this is.
Also, this has been happening for a while now. i've reinstalled windows 7 (x64 ultimate) several times already. I't always been like this.
Second also, I've calibrated the Dell monitor with i1display 2 calibrator. Since I can't have 2 color profiles with this videocard I had to calibrate the Samsung manually with the monitor controls, hence why the I mention the color display is nearly identical on both monitors.
Final note, its been happening with 3 videocards; my first card MSI 295GTX, ATI 6950 and recently purchased 580GTX.
If anyone has any idea why this is happening and how to solve it I'd owe you a beer!
